Green public procurement (GPP) has emerged as a strategic tool for sustainable
development. However, the drivers and barriers to effective GPP implementation
remain unclear. Additionally, the growing volume of GPP research necessitates interlinking
with sustainability concepts, such as sustainable development, to guide future
research. This paper presents a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis
of GPP research between 2003 and 2023 to identify key themes, trends and research
gaps. A dataset of 201 documents retrieved from the Web of Science database was
analysed using CitNetExplorer and VOSViewer. By analysing prior literature on the
effect of GPP on the achievement of sustainable development, we have found,
among others concerns, that: (1) richer qualitative analysis on GPP is needed; (2) there
is a gap in understanding localised factors influencing GPP in developing countries;
and (3) the transformative role of digitalisation in promoting social and environmental
outcomes in GPP is an essential factor. These findings will inform policymakers, practitioners
and researchers on the effective implementation of GPP for sustainable
development.
